How Can Images Convey Fantasy in to Reality

How Images Can Convey Fantasy in to Reality.Tim Walker; 'All of my photos are linked to things that made me dream as a kid' The quote above is from a interview with Tim Walker. When thinking of are own images they can be linked to many of are own dreams as children as well as adult, this is because they belong to us and we can fully understand them, but being able to convey this through a set of images to a stranger is what makes the complexilty of expression so hard. An image you create could say exactly what you want it to yet be so amibgous in others, in being so amibigous does it mean that everyone can relate to it in a different way, therefore making it there dream instead of yours.He descibes taking an image as simply ' a box between you and what you want to capture'. When taking a photo you have to consider how the reality will effect us compared to the fantasy we may have created in side our minds. By connecting the use of fantasy , reality and dreams i will be exploring different photographers including Tim Walker who is a British photographer whos work manily focuses on storybooks and dreams. My work is going to contain a theme of dreams, stories, memories and reality that can be created from story books and your own dreams throughout and therefore i thought it would be the best topic to disscuss in my essay. Tim Walker always makes use of his own dreams in his work , often using alice in wonderland likes settings which give him the freedom to express his inner feelings. By doing this it allows him to be able to explore different perspectives, often done so with the use of giant props in his images which also create the feel of depth and size within his images. He uses 'colourful images from an imaginative mind' and 'colourful fairytales' this is a decription of his series titled 'Story teller'. Which shows the childhood memories come to life on a large scale.

How Death can affect Perception of Reality
Perception of reality, what is it? It is how one views the world around them and each persons is different. Many things can alter and affect someone’s perception either negatively or positively and an example that could go both ways is death and the relationship someone may have with it. The authors, Jill McCorkle and Edgar Allen Poe, do a good job of displaying this in their writings. However, the character of Fish is accepting of death, whereas the character of Annabelle Lee is not.
Edgar Allen Poe, the author of Annabelle Lee, was known in history as a depressing soul whose writings were dark. This could be because he was exposed to and experienced a large amount of tragedy throughout his life from a young age, which is why the majority of his writings involve death, but everyone has his or her theory.
One of his most well known writings, the poem of Annabelle Lee, supports this as he and his soul mate share “… a love that was more than love…“ (9), until she is abruptly killed and taken away from him. “A wind blew out of a cloud, chilling / [m]y beautiful Annabelle Lee”(15). The narrator feels as if, “The angels, not half so happy in heaven, / [w]ent envying her and me…” (20-21) and because of this he began to feel resentment towards death and a “higher power.” Poe writes:
A wind blew out of a cloud, chilling

...René Descartes, author of "Meditation 1", writes how he must erase everything he
had ever learned and thought to be true and must "begin again from the first foundations"
(222). One may ask how Descartes came to this conclusion. The answer is that of he
"realized how many were the false opinions that in [his] youth [he] took to be true, and
thus how doubtful were all the things that [he] subsequently built upon these opinions"
(222). This change was to take place at the perfect time in Descartes life however, he
wasted much time waiting for that moment Descartes decided to simply let go of it. He
started questioning everything he ever believed in. Descartes raised one specific question:
How does one justify being awake from dreaming? He gives an example stating "that I
am here, clothed in my dressing gown, seated at the fireplace, when in fact I am lying
undressed between he blankets!" (222). Descartes describes how a dream may feel so
real, one might actually think their dream is in fact reality. He goes on further saying
"plainly that there are no definite signs to distinguish being awake from being asleep that
I am quite astonished, and this astonishment almost convinces me that I am sleeping"
(222). This all lead to Descartes coming up with a theory that "perhaps we do not even
have these hands, or any such body at all" (223). He started...

...Howcan events contribute to destination image enhancement? Give example.
A destination images is a psychological concept, studied in multitudinous fields, refers to an individual's perception acquired regards to a particular destination. In tourism studies, the term destination image generally refers to tourist based image.

Events can have several impacts towards the host country, mainly economic, cultural, social and environmental. As an important motivator, events can increase tourists to a region, provide employment, generate revenue which may positively impact on the economy in the region and build brand equity (Getz 2008, Richie & Daryl, 2004). It can also improve the image of the destination for the visitors, as well as to the own community, which may also represent as positive social benefit (Boo & Busser, 2006). Yet however research and analysis found that economic benefits...

Reality VS Fantasy
In the play A Streetcar Named Desire by Tennessee Williams, the motif of reality vs fantasy is used alot throughout the play. The fantasy part of this motif can be seen especially through Blanche, one of the characters. Blanche believes she is a young, beautiful and intelligent women but in reality she is not. Another fantasy seen in the play can be seen through the other characters because they hide from reality by acting as if some events did not happen.

...Fantasy faces Reality
Joyce’s short story “Araby” shows us the moment of awakening from fantasy by a boy’s one-side love story. we sometimes experience when we continue to work on ourselves, understand that if something is causing regret, anger, unhappiness or and other “negative” emotion, we are, by definition, experiencing an illusion. We will experience the illusions we still think are real. We will do so because we have made the unreal to real, and the best way to understand that what we see as valuable is actually valueless is to experience its valuelessness. Many times, when people awaken from their particular illusion, they feel so empty, angry, or feel like such a loser, but after this moment, people will step forward again into everyday life to begin new chapters in their personal histories. The short story “Araby” is filled with the fact that both ‘Symbolism’ and ‘Realism’ share significant weights. It opens and closes with strong symbols to awaken realism.
The fantasy and reality are faced at beginning of the story by symbolizing the priest’s death. When the boy narrates about the priest that reads, "’He had been a very charitable priest; in his will he had left all his money to institutions and the furnitures of his house to his sister’" (302). It makes the boy thinks him as a sneer, for it implies that the priest, by having a fortune, might not have been faithful to his position, and...
